INVISALIGN
- Invisalign is a great alternative to braces. They are virtually invisible when worn and easily removable for meal times and cleaning. It is made from a series of custom-molded clear trays that guide the teeth into proper alignment. Invisalign and Invisalign Teen is a safe and effective way to straighten your teeth without the hindrance of metal braces and brackets. The Invisalign process involves a series of clear aligners that are custom designed for each patient and replaced bi-weekly. Treatment usually takes 6-18 months. With Invisalign, you can smile confidently during and after your treatment.
BRACES FOR ADULTS
- It is estimated that one-third of today’s orthodontic patients are over 18. Treatments for adults usually take longer than for teenage patients, but still, yield great results. Your smile and the confidence to display it more often are reasonable enough to explore orthodontic treatment, but the benefits may go much further. In general, straight teeth are healthier teeth – easier to clean, and less prone to decay. Correcting misalignments may also help to alleviate other health concerns. New dental technologies are leading adults to consider appropriate dental treatments. Our clinic offers a range of solutions, including metal (traditional) braces, ceramic brackets, and Invisalign™ treatment. Visit us today to learn more about what we can offer to meet your unique treatment needs.
BRACES FOR KIDS
- People of all ages can benefit from orthodontics, but the teen and pre-teen years remain the best time for treatment since the jaw is still growing. For this younger population, treatments are generally shorter and simpler where patients can experience the health and aesthetic benefits sooner. Children may be wary of orthodontic treatment because they are afraid that it will hurt, but modern orthodontic treatment has improved drastically and involves little to no discomfort. The American Dental Association recommends that children receive their first orthodontic assessment at the age of seven. This basic examination can identify emerging problems that will benefit from the treatment as the adult teeth come in (interceptive treatment), or problems that are best monitored and treated when adult teeth have emerged in the early teen years. The orthodontist may recommend dental appliances such as fixed braces – a bracket affixed to each tooth, attached by wires, often with elastic bands on the brackets to further guide specific teeth. Headgears are removable appliances that sit in the mouth and are fastened around the head with straps. These are worn for a portion of a day, from 12 to 20 hours, and are often used for interceptive treatments. Retainers are custom-molded, removable dental appliances. These are worn at night and used to “retain” proper alignment after braces are removed. Contact our office to discuss your child’s needs and find out more!
